Der Pergamonaltar ist eines der grouml;szlig;ten antiken Kunstwerke. Sein Erbauer; Kouml;nig Eumenes II.; dankte mit ihm den Gouml;ttern fuuml;r die Wohltaten; die sie ihm erwiesen ndash; immerhin uuml;berlebte er einige Anschlauml;ge auf sein Leben und war in zahlreiche Kriege verwickelt. Barbara Demandt erzauml;hlt in ihrem Buch das Leben dieses antiken Staatsmanns und zeigt; wie sich seine Biographie in den Abbildungen des Altars spiegelt. Die Kelten; von denen er zeitlebens bedroht wurde; sind dort ebenso dargestellt wie Hannibal; der ihn mit Hilfe einer perfiden List ermorden wollte. Ihr Band wirft eine uuml;berraschende Perspektive auf das Bauwerk und seinen Erbauer und louml;st die Rauml;tsel dieses Kunstwerks.

Excellent Profile of Small Town AmericaBy Bonnie NeelyIMAGES OF AMERICA: BELTON; SC By Alison Ashley Darby is part of a fascinating series which documents the history of towns throughout the country. Belton; SC; is a small; rural town. This excellent visual history was collected and written by a local historian whose skills at unearthing interesting details make it a very enjoyable read ; especially for local residents and visitors and even for those who have never heard of Belton! For todays readers it is difficult to imagine the influence of a train station on the development of a town. This book helps us appreciate how the rail had an enormous impact on the growth of towns in the last century. The book has hundreds of photos of "then and now;" collected from citizens; town records and newspapers; and many sources the author discovered in her quest for this delightful little piece of Americana. A good read to learn about yesteryear in rural America. A perfect gift for any visitor or resident of the area.
